Chiropractor, teacher, and creator of DeFT and DeEp, helping practitioners work with more intuition, more precision, and less force.

Bio

For more than 25 years, I’ve been studying how the body heals and what really helps it change. Over time, that path led me beyond technique collecting and into something deeper: learning how to listen to the body, trust what I was feeling, and build a method that reflects how I actually work.

That method became DeFT, the DeReuter Fascial-Tonal Technique, along with DeEp, the emotional side of the work. I teach these inside TIC Healer Academy for chiropractors, bodyworkers, and practitioners who want a more connected, fascia-first, nervous-system-tuned way of helping people heal.

I also share practice tips, writing, and honest reflections from the road, because building a practice and finding your own voice as a healer can be hard, and I’d rather make that path easier for the people coming behind me.

Personal note

I’m a dad, a grandpa, a writer, a traveler, and a lifelong Star Trek fan. I like real conversations, useful ideas, and work that actually changes people.
